Production
For the first time ever, Survivor League had a 24 person cast in a season. This cast was divided into 2 groups of 12, consisting of 12 "superfans" and 12 fan favorites. This would be known as the theme, "Fans vs Favorites". In order for the fans to get into the season, they had to apply. Ultimately 12 fans were chosen in a total of 49 applications, with 4 replacements chosen as well. 1 member of the set castaways, Mxtthxvv, dropped 2 days before the premiere, being replaced by KEVIN_ISBOSS. For the favorites, 12 favorites of the game were recruited to be in by Paolo. 2 of these favorites, OptimalCqlxb and Rachel_Roses, were removed from the cast before the official cast reveal and were replaced by ITStheGreat17 and EclipseNukes. OptimalCqlxb was removed from the season by host's choice, and Rachel_Roses had decided to drop out. The premiere of the season was on October 11th of 2020.
